This show featured the Phish debuts of Mellow Mood and Windora Bug. Limb By Limb contained a Dave's Energy Guide tease from Trey. The jam out of the end of Gin featured Fish on vacuum and Trey on drums.

A Mellow Mood debut and opener was great, but my now means indicated the direction for the rest of the show. This one goes well under the radar and keeps you on your toes the entire time. LxL, Ghost are really excellent and seem to come out of nowhere after the very "mellow" opening. The set sort of meanders on from here, but really hits big with Taste, this is a must-hear version.

Set Two gives us a standard but high-energy Birds and Bowie, neither of which are slouches... but the REAL big moment comes with the rare second set Gin, which clocks in at 17 minutes before going in to a 7 minute ambient jam. Take a listen to this one without a doubt. They close out the show with Fire, pretty much taking a complete 180 from where they started with Set 1.

Ghost has a pretty straight forward "Stretching their legs" type jam. Glide is pretty botched. Axilla is actually a very solid and explosive version. Very strong taste great work by Trey.

Bowie has a cool extended intro and a nice midsection. Back at the chicken shack is an interesting choice for mid set. It does feel a bit slow and I think loses some momentum. The Gin jam is very blissful and upbeat as usual. The jam after goes into a beautiful ambiance followed by some vaccume.

Overall a just ok show. Not the most inspired unfortunately considering the great setlist.
